Abstract
The availability and increasingly widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotic treatments have led to the development of adverse events related to its use, highlighting due to its high frequency the occurrence of diarrhoea. Clostridium difficile infection represents the most common identifiable and treatable aetiology, not forgetting the ability of other pathogens to cause a similar clinical presentation. This form of presentation and the clinical evolution of the affected patients will define the therapeutic options available based on the latest clinical guidelines.
